CML Chart – December 16, 2012

Florida Georgia Line holds steady at #1 for a second week with “Cruise” but there is new competition in the runner-up spot as Zac Brown Band’s “Goodbye In Her Eyes” moves up two to #2. Justin Moore’s “Til My Last Day” stays at #3, while Eric Church’s “Creepin'” and Kip Moore’s “Beer Money” both jump into the top five at #4 and #5, respectively.

The lone debut this week comes from newcomer Kacey Musgraves, who enters the chart at #23 with “Merry Go ‘Round”. Kacey, who is a former contestant of Nashville Star, has written songs that have been cut by Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride and she also has a song on the new hit tv show “Nashville”.

As always, the CML Chart combines radioplay, album sales, along with popularity (video countdowns, frequency in the news, etc.) and internet downloads.
